Tom Cruise’s looks at Super Bowl sparks buzz
Several viewers of the Super Bowl ad agreed that the actor’s facial skin looked “stretched” out sparking rumours that Cruise allegedly underwent cosmetic surgeries before the shoot of the ad.
In the clip, the actor was seen slowly strutting to the centre in a darkened room where he is surrounded by screens featuring some of the most historical NFL moments. The video has a dramatic background score. Referencing his Mission: Impossible franchise Cruise said, “Tonight in New Orleans, we encounter a mission that doesn't come along very often,” as reported by Daily Mail.
He added, “long, winding road here has all led to this.” As Cruise said that there are “always new heights waiting to be reached,” the clip then shifted to dramatic images of some of the biggest stars on the field, surrounded by an overwhelming sea of microphones arranged in a semicircle. Those featured in the clip included Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, DeAndrew Hopkins and Xavier Worthy while Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown represented the Philadelphia Eagles.
